Multi car pileup in Kent - VW Car Transporter involved
« on: 05 September 2013, 10:58 »
Just viewed the aerial view on the 100+ pileup in Kent, and footage shows a VW transporter in the carnage with white Golfs on board:-

The cars on the carriers look fine, it’s all the mobile cars around them that have taken a battering.

At least it was only fog and not hailstones.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I hope there’s no fog on the Tyne when mine is taken to Pulman!  :laugh:

Looks like I can see atleast 1 white 3dr gti with the 19 inch wheels. Second from the back on top

Most important thing though, doesn't look like anyone has been killed

There's a song in there somewhere,

The second transporter looks like Toyotas to me so no great loss.

It is pretty amazing that there are no deaths with a pile up like that.

Probably testament to how much safer cars are these days. In the past it would have been far worse.

This bridge is only 15mins away from me and not only is it bloody high it's a really fast strip of road so how anyone didn't go over the side is unbelievable.  :shocked:
